unix lint utility with java, using pipes

[thufir]

I was perusing the tee utility, and came across this example:

lint program.c | tee program.lint

This displays the standard output of the command lint program.c at the 
computer, and at the same time saves a copy of it in the file 
program.lint. If a file named program.lint already exists, it is deleted 
and replaced.

I would want the OS to simultaneously run a console program, and save the 
output to a log file, as above.  Emphasis on *Operating System*, not the 
JVM.

can lint be used with java, instead of a c program?  Or, would you need a 
c program to invoke the java program?


something like:


lint foo.jar | program.lint


this requires an extra pipe, perhaps?



java -jar foo.jar | lint <??> | program.lint


something like that?  Not sure how to pass variable through a pipe, if 
that's the correct terminology.




thanks,
